How does the private sector interact with nature and biodiversity?

[GBIF Zimbabwe @GbifZ]

Biodiversity is becoming a normal part of business decision-making. Useful biodiversity data already exists and can be used today. Companies that start now, even in simple ways, will be better prepared, more resilient, and more competitive in the years ahead.@GBIF @zidainvest ,

[GBIF Zimbabwe @GbifZ]

ESG and sustainability frameworks (IFRS S1/S2, GRI biodiversity, TNFD, etc.) increasingly expect robust, traceable biodiversity metrics; GBIF is recognised as a key data source and infrastructure for such disclosures. @VFEX_ZW, @Mining_Zimbabwe,@GBIF

If your organisation is asking “what’s in it for us?”, data mobilisation offers concrete benefits in risk management, transparency and competitive positioning, @Min_of_IC, @GBIF, @Mine_RSA, @Mining_Zimbabwe

[GBIF Zimbabwe @GbifZ]

If your organisation commissions EIA studies, biodiversity surveys or long-term monitoring, we would love to start a conversation about how this data can work harder for both your business and nature @Min_of_IC, @GBIF, @Mine_RSA, @Mining_Zimbabwe

Words to reflect on the #WorldWetlandsDay and looking forward to the #RamsarCop15

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

#Wetlands deserve protection!

Not only are they #biodiversity hotspots, but these precious ecosystems also provide many benefits to humans.
